Still not good at getting things sharp but I can usually get them good enough to cut a bit of firewood. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Good video. Just watch your angle settings, use a lite touch, (just kiss the cutter) and if chain is bad dull, make multiple passes until it's sharp.
To the video. One other tip I'd like to add is to make sure the chain is clean before you start grinding. Any residual bar oil can make the wheel "glaze over" (the pores will become clogged with swarf/debris, it will take more effort to remove metal and generate more heat in the process) Keeping the grinding edge fresh with a dressing stick or diamond file goes a long way.
That is some serious grinding, the ‘angles’ mostly accounted for. My current preferred method is to put the chain in a bench vise, then do each tooth with a quality round file. I have reading glasses and at least good ambient light. I’m not saying I’m at the utube instructional level, but I do ok. I’ve been touching up the rakers more lately also, taking them down. Speaking of rakers, different ‘preferred’ reductions related to softwood cutting or hard. I prefer a good bite for the tooth. I have used some of the crank wheels & jig clamped to the bar, seem to come back to the round files. I was on a run watching some of the utube guys giving instructions a few months ago. One can usually pick up a tip or 3 with many videos.
